We love BBQ Chicken Pizza and we often take shortcuts using store bought BBQ sauce. There are so many brands of BBQ Sauce and most of them are very tasty.

But you can never beat a delicious homemade BBQ sauce. You will love this tasty homemade BBQ Sauce using ingredients you may already have on hand.

Homemade bbq sauce is usually made from a blend of tomatoes, spices, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Then you simmer it all together to get a thick and rich sauce that is perfect for any bbq.

It’s so tasty and this recipe is good in other recipes that call for bbq sauce.
